“That mysterious play which extends from love of a body to a love of an entire person has seemed to me noble enough to consecrate to it one part of my life.”

“A person who believes, as she did, that things fit: that there is a whole of which one is a part, and that in being a part one is whole: such a person has no desire whatever, at any time, to play God. Only those who have denied their being yearn to play at it.”

“And when you mess with one part of a person's life, you're not messing with just that part. When you mess with one part of a person's life, you're messing with their entire life.”

“Of all the errands life seems to be running, of all the mysteries that enchant us, love is my favorite”

“Trouble is a part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough.”

“Trouble is a part of your life--if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough.”
